What species of dwarf iguana is this?

Could be one of those, too.
I went with the species I mentioned simply due to the strong similarities and their native range being relatively close to the OP. Seems like there are multiple examples of convergent evolution with these types of iguana.
Yep, thats the problem they are all very very similar looking. as far as I am concerned it is most likely oplurus cuvieri. which is cool because I have read that they tame down well with regular handling. the south and central american spiny iguanas tend to be more aggressive and a challenge to tame.
its a shame that I still can't find a whole lot of information about the madagascan spiny tail either. would be nice to find a caresheet or something. are they a pretty uncommon species? cause I might consider trying to breed them if there would be a demand for offspring.
can I also confirm with you guys, the 2 pictures i posted are of two males. I have a suspicion that they are two seperate species or do you guys think that they are both definately Oplurus cuvieri?
